My Riffs

The work you do when nobody’s watching is what really matters. Because it shows what your constitution is.

Making friends usually requires being friendly. And being friendly means being warm and inviting.  It’s no easy task getting along with a cold person. Be warm and you’ll attract friendships. 

This phrase gets misused and misunderstood too much.  Some use it as licence to be their worst self. Others use it to be unwise with words or actions cause it’s just who they are. Wise people take it to mean be your best self, and don’t be nervous about what you’re not. Only you can be you, so be the best you and don’t worry about being just like someone else. 

How do you keep your thinking straight? Talk to and listen to other people and opinions.  Be willing to admit you’re wrong.  Be willing to change your opinion.  Don’t be afraid. 

I speak about living with gratitude often. Because it’s truly revolutionary.  In doing so, give gratitude often. Tell people that you’re grateful for them. Let them know they’re appreciated and important to you. That’s how you spread the spirit of gratitude. 

Make connections.  You’ll become better. Connect to better people and you’ll become better by associating with them.  Make connections and nurture them. It’s one of the most fulfilling things in life.
